I will defend with vigor anyone who is being falsely accused or when conclusions based on speculation are presented as facts. Even AMD from Intel fanboys.
The problem is, there is no defined or confirmed "it" or fact as far as the topic of this thread is concerned. The topic of this thread is, as the cited article points out, based on "unconfirmed speculations". You are pushing your opinions based on speculations - and you clearly don't want me to counter them.
And others in this thread are pushing falsehoods for example, suggesting Intel changes sockets due to greed only. That's just not true. It was based on their recently retired "tick tock" model that ensure optimal performance and utilization of features. So, for example Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge both used the 1155. Haswell and Broadwell used the 1150, etc. Now they have gone to the "Process/Architecture/Optimization" model that hopefully will allow sockets to last 3 generations - when possible.
Will there be exceptions? Sure! It is impossible to accurately predict every time which way (and how far) the cutting edge in advancing high-tech technologies will go. The best minds can only guess what we will find when reaching previously unexplored territories. And microprocessor architectures are getting down to almost atom-wide transistor gates - very unexplored territories.
I think it is only logical to accept and assume when architectures change, so will the sockets and chipsets to support them. Even AMD came out with the TR-4 and it even requires a special Torx screwdriver/torque wrench for proper mounting and those screws must be loosened and tightened in a specific order. And note this CPU may require users buy a new cooler - and of course, a new motherboard. What's up with all that convoluted mess? New architectures require new sockets and mounting procedures, that's what.
That's the pot calling the kettle black. You are trying to enforce your own opinion on "it" and you are even still, trying to police me.
